I may post from the road, I may not. When in the midst of arguably the most beautiful coastline in the world, I’m not going to want to be in front of a computer screen unless necessary. Three more days and I’ve a million things to do. Enjoy the lovely fall weather. It seems almost [...]
Guess what I got in the mail today, next to the shoes that don’t fit? A note from the apartment building telling me when my moving day is and what I need to do to move out. Moving? Who’s moving? This morning I turned in the slip that asked if I needed a lease extension [...]
Like my friend who had an I LOVE MY iPOD breakdown moment at the recent AIDS Walk, I’m having one now about the web. Can I just say I love the web? It makes everything possible. The sites below are my list of sites I can’t live without, like how Time Magazine did their list. [...]
Where are parts 1 and 3?
Update: Part 1 and Part 3. Thanks to Pia.
It sounds stupid, but it’s the actual word. I adored these shoes the moment I saw them. The problem is all sites I’ve checked don’t have them in the size, color, and model I want (this exact one, not the one like it). Nordstrom has the color and model, not the size. Macy’s doesn’t have [...]
It isn’t about an argument, it’s about things that happen, things that have nothing else in common other than they happened to you. When I left for work early this morning, it was raining and when I got back it looked like it was about to rain. Those two trips bookended such disparate events.
At work, [...]
The hard disk drive turns 50: “Silicon Valley turns out to mark today’s 50th anniversary of the computer hard disk drive technology.
Where would we be without? The thing that keeps our text files, websites, pictures, movies, applications at the ready? The digital bookshelf. The treasury box. Without it, computers would be constantly spinning their wheels [...]
Before five years ago, the general knowledge was that I was supposed to remember where I was and what I was doing when the Challenger exploded much like people older than me remembered Kennedy getting shot in Dallas. The truth is, I have only a vague recollection of the Challenger blowing up. I remember learning [...]
The National Constitution Center is one of Philadelphia’s great resources. I went on Friday for a forum with one of the New Yorker’s journalists Larry Wright and some local politicians who had taken part in the 9/11 Commission. The friend who had given me a heads up on the event loves the Constitution Center and [...]
I finally did it after weeks of threatening to do it. They had me on hold for nearly 45 minutes before putting me through to a Cancel Your Account Representative. I guess it’s their last test of your resolve. The woman also asked me why I was cancelling the “service”. It was all I could [...]
The UK’s Labour Party is all but forcing Tony Blair out of the PM position. He was once one of the UK’s most promising politicians and now just another one in a long line ruined by contact with George Bush Jr. That’s what I attribute it to, this sharp souring with the British people and [...]
There are ways you can make money blogging without selling your soul or your CSS. This guy makes a good point in what he says about PayPerPost.com giving small time bloggers a leg up in the advertising circus. The system allows you to make a few pennies when you don’t have the traffic to get [...]
